there are no limits

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19 (ESV)   Know me. I am in the written Word. I am that very word. Know me. I wish to express myself to others though you. I am that fullness which fills the deep and hollow feelings you now have. Experience a new fullness. Immerse yourself in experiencing me. Do not be satisfied with what you read or what you hear from others. Let me whisper truths into your ear; to pour forth myself into yo

what is Jesus sharing with you?

I have told you all this so that you may find peace in me. In the world you will have hardship, but be courageous: I have conquered the world. John 16:33 (NJB)

3-16

In recent days I have been seeing various forms of the number 316. It has been the clock time, the cost of a gallon of gasoline or the cost  of a purchased item. Follow carefully what I am doing. I have supplied for you in the past. Do not be frightened by what is directly ahead. You are not cut off from the destination.  I will continue to guide you in the direction of your future, but you must follow the direction of the leaders I have set before you. I will show myself again through signs and wonders. Be ready to move forward at the announced hour of time.   the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. Joshua 3:16 (NIV)

since what we know of the beginning

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:1-2, 14 (NIV)

they spread the word

When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. Luke 2:17-18 (NIV)

be always on the watch

Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man. Luke 21:36 (AMP)

This will be a sign for you

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good news that brings great joy to all the people: Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2:8-14 (NET) This will be my sign for you My heart and plans for you have not changed. I have blessed you with yet untapped gifts. For you to come to the realization of your plans, you need to more than identify or admire these gifts. Your job in the next months to unwrap them and open them for others. It is then you will recognize what I have been doin

But I say to you:

that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. Matthew 5:22 (NKJV) that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28 (NKJV) that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. Matthew 5:32 (NKJV) do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; Matthew 5:34 (NKJV) love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, Matthew 5:44 (NKJV) that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:36 (NKJV) that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands." Matthew 17:12 (NKJV)

children of God

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1 (NIV)

Joy and restoration

    The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.     I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.     Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.     At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says the LORD. Zephaniah 3:17-20 (ESV)

a calling forth of John

And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." Luke 1:76-79 (NIV)

be at peace

There is no need for you to strive. Relax in the security I offer. Know the peace of being in alignment with my will. In this season of turmoil you are my light for those caught in the darkening world. Be lead by my Spirit; be at peace. My words do not change. In the midst of the storm: Peace, be still. Do not fear those who would harass or harm you. You are mine. This is not the time to be quite or share what you think. This is the time for sharing the eternal peace in my light. Release your grasp from this shaking world. My peace is available, even amidst the winds. Those who have found greatness have found me. Those who seek peace will need to turn to me. Do not be striving, but have my peace: Be still.

Come, let us go

In days to come the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills. Peoples shall stream to it, and many nations shall come and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  Micah 4:1-2 (NRSV)

a long awaited promise

The LORD says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times." Micah 5:2 (TEV)

the sign from the book of Isaiah

So Isaiah replied, “Pay attention, family of David. Do you consider it too insignificant to try the patience of men? Is that why you are also trying the patience of my God? For this reason the sovereign master himself will give you a confirming sign. Look, this young woman is about to conceive and will give birth to a son. You, young woman, will name him Immanuel.   Isaiah 7:13-14 (NET)

my special possession

And now, if you will diligently listen to me and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession out of all the nations, for all the earth is mine, and you will be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ Exodus 19:5-6a (NET)

a lifetime gift

All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change. By his sovereign plan he gave us birth through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.  James 1:17-18 (NET)

a motive for action…

For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20 (ESV)

Fear not

Fear not for you are mine: You never have to feel alone. You are not alone. I have never left you.  Look for me in all parts of your life and you will find me.   Fear not this new season: Do not hold back, share your expectations and pains with me. Consult with me in reading my Word. I have specific answers for you.   Fear not what the world says: Acknowledge me in your life. My abundance is open to you. My supernatural peace is available. I am ever-yet in control.   Fear not how others react: Learn to respond from love. Hold your tongue before giving that harsh answer. Be in synch with my thoughts and my ways. You are a light unto the world.   Fear not.     How blessed is every one of the LORD’s loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands! You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure. Psalm 128:1-2 (NET)

…he put us in charge of the earth

The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man. Psalm 115:16 (NIV)

a blanket of snow

I will cover you with a blanket of snow. No longer will your sin be visible. Your failures and shortcomings are in the past. They no longer exist for those who have learned to walk and rest in me.   Come and exchange your accumulations for what I have awaiting you. It has been set aside from the beginning, as I have prepared you for the journey.   Wrap yourself in me. My covering is safe and personal. Take time to rest in me. It is from that place you will grow in my ways. I will show you my plans.   I am the peace you are seeking. I am the fullness which you need. I will blanket you and the enemy will not reach you.     Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion, for he strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. Psalm

the breaker

"I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people. One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the LORD at their head." Micah 2:12-13 (NIV)

through the son

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets many times and in many different ways. But now in these last days God has spoken to us through his Son. God has chosen his Son to own all things, and through him he made the world. The Son reflects the glory of God and shows exactly what God is like. He holds everything together with his powerful word. When the Son made people clean from their sins, he sat down at the right side of God, the Great One in heaven. The Son became much greater than the angels, and God gave him a name that is much greater than theirs. Hebrews 1:1-4 (NCV)

God has given me

[The Servant of God says] The Lord God has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught]. Isaiah 50:4 (AMP)
